Pandora unveils a brand new, slightly psychedelic brand identity

Pandora, the internet radio app, has gone through a few changes this past year. First, there was a full redesign of the Android app that brought it into the modern age, then there was the Pandora Plus monthly subscription with unlimited skips and repeats and offline listening.
Now the service is ready for another leap. The old dark blue serif P icon is gone, to be replaced by a new vibrant and filled blue P with a more modern typeface. There's a new full "pandora" logo to boot, and a lot of talk about "dynamic range of sound and color, visualizing the energy and emotion that artists pour into the creation of music."
Pandora says this new brand is "composed of form, color and pattern," as you can obviously see from the range of colorful and maybe slightly psychedelic logos in the top image of this post. So far, the only implementation seems to be the blue icon which is live in the app on the Play Store, and there's no word on whether these other logos will show up on the Pandora site or in the app as you listen to different genres of music.

The main URL includes a keyword phrase but is too long to type quickly, so a shorter, cryptic one is utilised and maybe is also used on business cards and letter heads.
You take various versions of domains to prevent competitors from grabbing them – dot.com, dot.co.nz, dot.biz, dot.info etc, and point them all to the "main" site.
You take various country versions – dot.co.nz, dot.com.au, dot.co.uk because you are going to expand into those markets – but in the interim you point them all to the "main" site.
Having multiple domains pointing to the same location in the hope that the search engines will be duped into indexing ALL of them as different content, giving you lots of top rankings under different domains.
Search engines hate duplicated content with a passion… but their automated spiders and bots cannot determine which category YOU fall into – uninformed and innocent of intent, or deliberately and knowingly manipulative. So all sites who transgress can expect to be treated equally. And yes, you can be banned from the SE indexes for getting it wrong!
The search engines do not give out many guidelines – in fact they are all very coy about giving too information much away. However, when they do make a statement by way of guidelines, regardless of how politely it is worded, you had best sit up and take notice because they are really, really serious about it!
There is a clear and present danger in having multiple sites pointing to the same location if they load exactly the SAME content – this is a SERIOUS breach of Google's Webmaster Guidelines and is expressly FORBIDDEN because the search engines can only interpret this as a blatant attempt to generate duplicate content under different URL's. Regardless of your actual intentions in this, its likely to result in a BAN from search engine indexes. 🙂 Not a good start to an online presence, right?
Ignorance of search engine guidelines is not a valid excuse either! Unfortunately, many web designers and hosting companies are blissfully unaware of the correct way to implement multiple domain names. The result is that many web site owners unknowingly jeopardise their site's inclusion in the search engine rankings.
My advice is that if you have more than one domain name, you check how its been set up. If your have two domains; http://www.2nddomain.com and http://www.2nddomain.com and BOTH load the same pages but with the different domains showing, then you have a problem. If you can also load the sites as http://www.2nddomain.com and http://www.2nddomain.com then totals 4 different ways of indexing the SAME content!
That said, it IS permitted to have multiple domains pointing to the same content BUT it may only be done via the use of a Permanent 301 Redirect being applied to the secondary domains, e.g. typing in the URL for any of the secondary domains will redirect you to the main site. This change can easily be implemented, at no cost other than a few of minutes of time.
In this example, http://www.2nddomain.com is redirected to http://www.2nddomain.com and and neither visitors nor SE spiders ever "see" content under the secondary domain name. The same logic should also be applied to the non-www versions of both domain names to complete the process and to prevent potential conflicts with the search engines.

There are only a few things tougher to write than a statement of purpose for education graduate school, a statement of purpose requires you to extensively elucidate on yourself, what you can do, what you hope to do, and why you're doing it. This kind of self-examination and exploration is tough to do, especially if you don't have a clear idea of what they're looking for, which is common considering the vague way that most statement of purpose prompts are formulated. That's what our professional example statements of purpose are here for.
Physics is something that bores a lot of people, but to me there's nothing more profound. It's the study of the way the universe works, its underlying functions and capabilities, and I think there's little more important to your understanding of the world and knowing your place in it than understanding physics. This is the ultimate reason why I'm applying for your institution, I think a formal study of physics is the best way to get a circumspect and voluminous knowledge and education, and that's just the start of what I want to do. In truth I want to accomplish real things, the thought of being at the forefront of science, of unlocking the mysteries of the world, and ultimately that's what I would like to do, and I think your institution is a great way to get started on that road. My grades and academic profile are quite good, but the effort and hard work I put forth were for the learning itself, not for any material gains that might come of it, and the same would be said for my work at your institution.

M.A.C.H.: Maneuverable Armed Computer Humans è un videogioco sparatutto a scorrimento fantascientifico pubblicato nel 1987 per Commodore 64, primo prodotto dell'azienda danese Starvision (più tardi autrice di Oswald).
La rivista  lo giudicò simile a Last Mission, ma poco interessante e molto difficile, mentre ottenne ottime recensioni sulle danesi IC RUN e COMputer. Starvision mise in palio un Amiga per chi riusciva a completare il gioco.

Trama
L'enorme robot Nektron ha sottomesso con la sua flotta tre pianeti. I protagonisti sono uno o due membri della squadra M.A.C.H. - Maneuverable Armed Computer Humans (traducibile "umani computerizzati armati maneggevoli"), combattenti dotati di super tute che permettono di volare e sparare laser. Dovranno sconfiggere le forze di Nektron, rappresentate da vari tipi di velivoli robotici, volando sulle superfici dei tre pianeti. Il primo pianeta ha l'aspetto di una città con grattacieli, il secondo ha un paesaggio lunare e il terzo tecnologico; infine si affronta Nektron stesso.

Modalità di gioco
Uno o due giocatori in cooperazione simultanea controllano un M.A.C.H. su uno scenario bidimensionale visto dall'alto, con scorrimento libero in tutte le direzioni. I M.A.C.H. possono muoversi e sparare in tutte le otto direzioni e hanno una scorta limitata di smart bomb. I nemici, di 23 tipi in tutto, arrivano volando da ogni lato, spesso in formazione. L'obiettivo in ogni pianeta in particolare è distruggere un certo numero di Vacilator e di Gyphon, dopodiché appare l'astronave boss del livello.

Il M.A.C.H. ha una sola vita e una barra di energia, che diminuisce al contatto con i nemici o i loro proiettili. Distruggendo le astronavi Carrier dei vari colori o le formazioni intere di Scout si ottengono differenti power-up da raccogliere: ricariche di energia e di smart bomb e quattro nuove attrezzature che possono essere l'arma Mega Blaster, il fuoco a ripetizione, il super scudo o il missile Penetrator.

Un pannello di controllo sul bordo inferiore dello schermo mostra le varie informazioni di stato, nonché le coordinate XY dell'attuale posizione su tutta l'area di gioco e l'icona del prossimo tipo di nemico in avvicinamento.

The Belle Epoque Champagne cuvée is the Prestige vintage wine by famous Epernay-based Perrier-Jouët house.
It has symbolized the excellence of the brand for nearly 50 years now.
Belle Epoque is one of the most famous and prestigious indeed of all Prestige Cuvée Champagnes, featuring among such wine stars as Dom Pérignon or Pol Roger's Sir Winston Churchill.
In 1902, the then-manager of Perrier-Jouet, Henri Gallice commissioned Emile Gallé, a leading glass designer and famous founding father of the Art Nouveau artistic movement (popular between 1890 and 1910 and inspired by natural forms and structures), to craft a special bottle for his top vintage Champagne.
Gallé came up with the now-famous Japanese anemone flowers featured on every bottle of Belle Epoque now.
But back at the beginning of the 20th century, manufacturing these bottles would have resulted way too costly and labor-intensive in the absence of automation at the time.
Gallé's Art Deco flower bottles were therefore 'forgotten' until the first-ever vintage of Belle Epoque, the 1964 vintage was released in 1969.
The Perrier-Jouët Champagne House, founded in 1811, now owns 65 hectares (160 acres) classified at 99.2% on the scale of the crus, including forty hectares of Chardonnay on the Grands Crus of Cramant and Avize. Chardonnay, a floral, elegant and delicate variety, is the signature of Perrier-Jouët champagne.
Maison Perrier-Jouët only works on small volumes with limited production.
Its Cellar Managers have always known how to preserve the historical treasures of the House, as the first vintages, such as the Perrier-Jouët 1825, the oldest existing to date in Champagne.
Perrier-Jouët is part of the Pernod-Ricard group.
Belle Epoque Champagne is made from about 50% Chardonnay from the grands crus of Cramant and Avize, 45% Pinot Noir rom the Montagne de Reims, and 5% Pinot Meunier Pinot Meunier (5%) from Dizy in the Vallée de la Marne.
Harvest of the grapes is done by hand, and the fermentation run in stainless steel tanks including a full malolactic fermentation.
The Champagne is matured for at least six years in the House's cellars before disgorgement and dosage at 9 grams of added sugar per liter.
Belle Epoque brings in all the tension we love and expect from a Grand Cru Chardonnay from Champagne, and adds the body, the liveliness of the fruit character of Pinot Noir with a hint of Premier Cru Pinot Meunier.
The style if consistent across various vintages, masterfully crafted by chef de cave Hervé Deschamps. Although, as the reviews of vintages 2011 and 2008 below highlight, there is a significant variation between vintages, and a certain evolution of the wine with ageing towards a more nutty and complex expression.
A vibrant Champagne featuring a bright and shiny lemon-yellow color with hints of golden hues from the long ageing on lees. The boasts delicate aromas of sour-dough brioche with subtle white pepper and sweet spices. A marked floral element, elderflower and lily.
The palate is crisp and full of acidic tension from the Chardonnay, while flavors of lemon, lime and fine brioche notes. A crisp and vibrant, quite restrained vintage of Belle Epoque with great ageing potential.
An incredibly joyful wine throwing and bursting with flavors all over the place.
The acidity is driving the palate and bringing tension and minerality but there is also so much spicy depth, caramelized brioche depth and complexity!
Read the full review on 2008 Champagne Perrier-Jouët Belle Epoque Brut : Wonderfully Promising !
I always felt BE vintage was superb value compared to other Prestige Cuvees that have rocketed in price over the years to £125+ (an not necessarily in quality to go with it!). The beautiful painted bottles are also a nice bonus to keep as a reminder of the special occasion the time you had it 🙂 They make great candle holders for your table!

Background and schedule for MnSCU chancellor interviews
Alex Friedrich January 28, 2011, 3:24 PM Jan 28, 2011
MPR / Tim Post
Big decision to make
By the end of next week, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system's board of trustees is expected to hire a new chancellor.
Trustees are expected to name the candidates Monday, and public interviews will take place that week.
Here's MPR's Tim Post report. Details of the interview process follow:
It won't be an easy position to step into. The 32-campus system has seen huge enrollment increases in recent years, declining funding from the state, and some of the highest tuition levels in the country.
Scott Thiss, the chair of the MnSCU board of trustees is a sailing man, so a nautical analogy comes easily as he describes the search for a new leader.
"We need someone who going to help us navigate the strong headwinds and crosscurrents that are facing higher education in general and in Minnesota specifically."
Those headwinds and crosscurrents are being whipped up by budget pressures.
MnSCU receives about the same in state funding as the University of Minnesota. Last year that was around $600 million. And while the U of M has 70,000 students statewide, MnSCU has more than 200,000.
MnSCU has watched its state support dwindle in recent years, even as its enrollment has skyrocketed.
Further cuts are expected this legislative session as lawmakers struggle with a state budget deficit of more than $6 billion.
That's the biggest challenge facing the next MnSCU leader, according to Roger Moe.
The former senate majority leader led the effort to create MnSCU in the 1990's. It streamlined Minnesota's state-run universities, community- and technical colleges into one system.
Moe says the new MnSCU leader will need a wide array of skills.
"The new chancellor has to bring political skills, administrative skills, and obviously a knowledge of higher education and the emerging trends in that area. Plus probably be a magician besides."
Magic could be required to keep MnSCU's tuition rates under control. They're already some of the highest in the nation.
System officials admit students and their parents have reached a breaking point, and there's little room to raise tuition further.
Justin Klander, the executive director of the Minnesota State College Student Association, says the cost of tuition is foremost on students' minds.
Klander says the next leader of MnSCU needs to find ways to save money through efficiencies, and not rely on tuition to raise revenue.
"We need to figure out a way how we can be smarter about that. There's a lot of different conversations going on about how we deliver online education. Also how we structure our programs, trying to reduce duplication of services."
MnSCU campuses across the state are already working on some of those budget cutting measures. In recent months several schools have proposed program eliminations, faculty layoffs and cuts to sports teams to balance their budgets.
Current MnSCU leader James McCormick took over as chancellor a decade ago, about five years after the system was created.
Karen Foreman, an administrator at Minnesota State University-Mankato, says colleges were holding tightly to their individual identities in those early days, and McCormick helped bring them all together.
Foreman, who's also the policy director for the union that represents about 4,000 MnSCU workers (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees), says the next chancellor has more work to do to make the system cohesive.
"We want someone who understands how technical colleges, two-year colleges and universities all contribute to the incredible diversity, vitality, and economic development of the state."
Foreman says there are several qualified leaders within MnSCU who could step into the leadership role, but thinks someone from outside the system could bring in a fresh perspective.
Monte Bute, a professor of sociology at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, says wherever the new MnSCU chancellor comes from, he or she needs to be a strong advocate for the system in tough budget times.
"We cannot tolerate hiring a go-along-to-get-along bureaucrat. We need somebody that has got some firepower, that has a vision, who is coming in to shake up the status quo."
The next MnSCU chancellor will take office at the end of July. That's just a month after the new president of the University of Minnesota, Eric Kaler, takes office.
Tentative schedule for next week's selection of the MnSCU chancellor:
9 a.m., Mon., Jan. 31
Board of Trustees meets to select finalists for the chancellor position. Immediately after the meeting, the names of the finalists will be announced in a news release. This meeting will be audio streamed via www.mnscu.edu.
8 a.m., Tues., Feb. 1
Finalists meet with small groups of trustees and other system leaders. These meetings are public, but they will be taking place simultaneously for the finalists. There will be no audio streaming of these meetings.
9:15 a.m., Wed., Feb. 2
Finalists are interviewed individually by the full Board of Trustees. This meeting will be audio streamed via www.mnscu.edu.
1:15 p.m., Wed., Feb. 2
Board of Trustees meets to deliberate and select a new chancellor. This meeting will be audio streamed via www.mnscu.edu.
Meetings will be in the MnSCu headquarters at Wells Fargo Place, 30 7th St. E., Suite 350, St. Paul, MN 55101-7804

Tithe commutation was a 19th-century reform of land tenure in Great Britain and Ireland, which implemented an exchange of the payment of a tithe to the clergy of the established church, which were traditionally paid in kind, to a system based in an annual cash payment, or once-for-all payment. The system had become complex, with lay owners by impropriation entitled to some tithes, which were of a number of kinds.

History
In Scotland, a form of commutation of teinds applied from 1633. A full reform was carried out in the 1930s.

Commutation of tithes occurred in England before the 19th century major reform, since it was an aspect of enclosure, a legal process under which rights to common land were modified by act of parliament. An estimate places 60% of enclosure acts as involving tithe commutation. In such cases, commissioners who dealt with the detail of enclosure acts handled tithes by allocation of land, as part of the division of ownership. By this mechanism, in the period 1750 to 1830, glebe land increased, and clerics in some places became active farmers.

From the 17th century tithe commutation became seen as part of agricultural improvement, and by the later 18th century tithes were seen as a major obstacle to improvement, for example by Adam Smith. and the Board of Agriculture.

In England and Wales existing tithe payments were abolished by the Tithe Commutation Act 1836. It introduced in their place a cash payment, the "corn rent". The legislation was shaped by the parliamentary contribution of William Blamire, a farmer and self-styled "practical man", who became a tithe commissioner.

Tithe maps
Implementation of the Commutation Act for England and Wales required detailed maps. Robert Kearsley Dawson took the opportunity to press for a substantive cadastral survey.

Inflammation is a natural and common response of the immune system. In some cases, your immune system may attack healthy cells and lead to painful inflammatory responses leading to medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, etc. Inflammation is most common in cardiovascular diseases and autoimmune disorders. Most are chronic and can last for many years with varying symptoms. Though there are over the counter drugs available to treat these medical conditions, they may cause some side effects. Omega-3 is a natural health remedy to treat various medical conditions caused by inflammation.
Omega-3 is rich in anti-inflammatory properties, and this is proven in many clinical studies and research. It has the potential to impact the communication between neurons in the body, enabling it to discharge chemicals that can prevent inflammation. Those who consume food rich in Omega-3 have powerful elements that are anti-inflammatory in nature. Resolvin, derived from Omega-3 fatty acids is an organic substance similar to a hormone, which has the capability to treat acute inflammation.
Particularly in cases of heart patients who have undergone surgery, resolvin, present in omega3 fatty acids helps to heal the blood vessels.
Autoimmune diseases are caused by an immune response where the body is unable to differentiate between healthy cells and foreign particles such as bacteria, virus, etc. The immune system damages the body's tissues resulting in an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune diseases have been classified by various clinical studies and some of the most common include lupus, psoriasis, fibromyalgia and multiple sclerosis. The effects of an autoimmune disease often disrupts the ability to do routine functions and can damage the quality of life because they are chronic and can even last for a lifetime.
The omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), are known to have a great effect on the inflammatory response and the immune system. It can be used to treat patients suffering from various autoimmune disorders. The most common source of polyunsaturated fatty acids is fish oil. By taking fish oil based on the dosage recommended by a healthcare professional, the symptoms of medical conditions caused by auto-immune disorders can be reduced, and the major benefits include reduced inflammation and pain. Though there are pharmaceutical medicines available to treat these medical conditions, they come with their own share of side effects.
There are many ways to consume Omega-3 to help prevent inflammation and reduce the effects caused by inflammation. Vegetarian sources of Omega-3 include flaxseed, flaxseed oil, canola oil and walnuts while animal sources include fish and fish oil. A diet that is rich in nuts, fish, shrimps and olive oil will contain Omega-3 in abundance. In Japan, it is very common to include fish in every meal, so Japanese diet has high levels of Omega-3. There are many Omega-3 supplements available, however, it is recommended to consult a medical professional before taking Omega-3 or any other dietary supplement.


What's the average ISK per day of research, considering perfect skills and facility bonuses?
It depends on your planning and research.
The text under was written as I did some research and learned how it works, so its a bit long and tedious.
I used the crunker blueprint database, ingame contracts and fuzzwork blueprint calculator.
I am a newbie to this myself so I appreciate being corrected and learning from my mistakes.
Frigate BPOs around 0.5 million per day per slot.
Ammunition BPO around 2 million per day per slot.
Ammunition BPC as low as 200k per day per slot.
Cruiser BPC around 3 million per day.
Find high priced items and sell them individually with long expiry dates for max profits.
Sell in bulk directly in contracts or to BPO corporations for less work and lower profit per day for a % of the price.
Unless I have done something wrong in my calculations/research you could expect at least 1 million per slot per day if you go for bulk sale of perfect cruiser BPOs. The only way to find out is to contact the potential buyers, set up bulk contracts on auction or direct sale and learn from experience.
My gut feeling would be that moderate research/preparation and minimal contract work you could expect at least 1 million per day per slot when selling. The lowest profit margins I found was 250k per day per slot, but it is easy to lose money on expensive blueprints in systems with high system costs.
The cheapest fully researched Frigate BPOs goes for around 20 million in the contracts, most are between 25-35 million.
To get a frigate to max ME/TE.
Perfect skills +5 Implant: 70 days.
The BPO cost 3 million +/- and research time cost is system price index times around 800% of the BPO cost.
Profits - Costs = 15 million per 50 days per slot.
If you have 11 slots you could expect around 3.3 million per day in Frigate BPO research profits with minimal research.
Three maxed character slots around 10 million per day.
If you pick the right frigates and having contracts up for a long time you could double it.
But there are some extra considerations, the citadel could be unanchored or destroyed, delaying and undoing research and there is risk/cost associated with moving the BPOs.
For larger ships and modules the importance of the job costs is more important, the time longer and the margins compared to the cost of the BPO is slimmer.
Another quick example would be small ammunition.
The cheapest fully researched rocket BPO in Jita is around 8 million.
A rocket BPO costs 40k and takes 2.5 days to fully research, 3 million per slot per day.
It is more likely to get between 3-5 million per ammunition blueprint, so 1-2 million per slot per day is a more likely average.
And there is opportunity cost associated with setting up contracts, easiest would be to create and dedicated corporation for blueprint sales. You can create ammunition packs and sell in bulk and get more isk per contract at the cost of lower unit price.
You could also research more expensive BPOs and make copies of them for profit.
Cheap battleship BPOs copies go for 300k per single copy/run, 5-10 run copies vary but seem to be around 200k per run.
108 x 0.02 x 0.1 = 216,000 isk cost.
For each % reduction in System Price Index the cost is reduced by 21,600 isk for this example.
A moderate 5% system the cost would be 108,000 isk profit per run.
Profits would be around 100k-300k isk for a cheap battleship copy depending on the sysem cost index.
So a perfectly researched BPO in a low system cost index system with a 30% rig at cheapest battleship BPOs price would net you 4-5 million isk per slot per day if you put them up individual or around 3 million if you put them up as 10 run copies.
Cruisers seem to be around 200k+ per maxed copy, and with 1/20 of the base cost of battleships, system cost will be less important.
Takes about 1 hour for a maxed character with 30% rigs to complete a copy, so around 5 million per day per slot for individual contracts and about 2-3 million for 10 run copies.
There are dedicated BPO/BPC corporations that buy in bulk as well, so if you want to have the absolute minimum of work and you are not interested in setting up contracts you could probably copy cruisers in bulk and sell them either as large pack auctions or to BPO corps with 1-2 million per day per slot.
There is also examples of fantastically low profit items on the market, like a single maxed ME/TE 600 run light missile BPCs for under 200k isk, takes around 17 hours to copy with perfect skills, 30% rig and implants. I can only assume that the people who make those products enjoy providing high quality items to the marked for a very low price.
I hope something here has been useful, the best way to learn is by experience which I have zero, but this is my best guess.
Thank you! There was a lot in there I found useful. One thing I would like to know is if there is an easy way to sell fully researched BPOs that you're having a hard time selling by normal means (BPO corps maybe?); I have 4 medium shield resistance rig BPOs that people just seem to not be interested in.
Again, thank you for the time you put into that reply, I really appreciate it.

Posted byDuane Heffelfinger October 23, 2020 Posted inDaily PicksTags:Esports, Esports Betting, LCK, LCS, LEC, LoL, LoL World championship, LPL
Here we are, two more weeks of LoL. It's bittersweet. In some ways, I'm ready to think about something else for a stretch, in other ways it's hard to say goodbye when I finally feel like I've got a good grasp on things. There will always be next season to improve on.
Before we get there though, let's look at our first Semi-final of the weekend:
Damwon (-245) vs. G2 (+175)
Top- DWG Nuguri vs. G2 Wunder The Edge:DWG
Jungle- DWG Canyon vs. G2 Jankos The Edge:DWG
Mid- DWG Showmaker vs. G2 Caps The Edge: Even
Bot- DWG Ghost and Beryl vs. G2 Perkz and Mikyx The Edge: DWG
I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of people who believe this matchup is pretty close and are therefore taking the plus odds on G2. The line movement so far favors that theory, G2 opened at +190 and Damwon at -265. In some ways, it makes sense. G2 has demonstrated their ability to consistently beat and confound top LCK teams capped off by their recent dismantling of Gen. G. Caps, in particular, looked incredible in the series and it has sparked a debate around whether he should be considered in the "best players in the world" conversation (the answer to that is an emphatic "yes" by the way) and G2 seems destined for another shot at finally overcoming the LPL at a Worlds Final. Narratively, it makes perfect sense. In the real world, I think they're about to get swept. Each part of that narrative: the talent discrepancy, the LCK dominance, and recent results falls apart under deeper scrutiny of G2 and their opponents, Damwon Gaming.
Let's start with the talent. Caps is, indisputably in my opinion, a top 8 player in the world. Despite not being the kind of dominant laner we are used to on that list, he is the engine of everything good that G2 does. When you watch their wins, Caps is always involved in the skirmishes that pulls G2 into the lead. He is never late, never indecisive, and seemingly never misses a skillshot. He essentially won game 2 of their Gen. G series by himself on the Sylas. Caps could easily be the best player in this series and I would not be shocked.
The problem for G2 is Damwon has 4 players that I would not be shocked to see as the best player in the series. Canyon, Nuguri, Showmaker, and Beryl all have credible arguments as the best player at their position in the world and Nuguri and Showmaker have arguments as the best players in the world full stop. They have handily won pretty much every lane they were a part of this season including against players like Zoom, Chovy, and BDD. It's a scary proposition for G2, who depend on Caps to be able to leave lane to win. If Showmaker puts the kind of pressure on Caps and his tower that we are used to seeing him do, we could see a similar series to their first series against Fnatic in the LEC playoffs in which, G2 seemingly did not have a plan B when Nemesis' Lucian was keeping Caps cemented in lane. G2 is at their best when they can skill check you in small skirmishes or objective trades, I don't think they want to do that against Damwon.
Second, the narrative that G2 owns the LCK is true. They have consistently beat the region at international events over the last 2 years. But Damwon Gaming also owns the LCK this split. The went 34-5 in games in the regular season with a 15% GSPD in the LCK. The other teams that G2 has beaten from the LCK the past two years have been champions, but not the undisputed, never-really-challenged mega-champions that Damwon are. DWG also plays nothing like the slow, macro-focused SKT teams that G2 is famous for confounding. They can play a myriad of styles, but have been at their best when they are the aggressors. They were, in fact, the best Early Game Rating team on oracleselixir.com in the world during the Summer Split.
Finally, G2's series against Gen.G was not nearly as dominant as the 3-0 game score suggests. In the first game, Gen. G was at even gold and had three drakes near the 20 minute mark, a commanding position for most competent teams. From there, you really have to just stall until the fourth drake spawns and set up vision properly around it without getting caught out and the advantage you have from the drake stats should help carry you through the teamfight. Instead, Gen. G got desperate and took terrible, unnecessary fights on the top side that led to a G2 baron. It was dumbfounding and enraging as a Gen. G believer. It's also the kind of mistake that Damwon has not made this split. From there, Gen. G seemingly never mentally recovered and made all kinds of uncharacteristic, dumb mistakes to wind up getting swept. There was one clear theme though: G2 is willing to trade away early objectives to make top side dives or counter jungle. I think if they do that against Damwon they are doomed.
All narratives aside, I believe Damwon Gaming to be the most complete and best team in the world. Their stats are perfect, their win conditions varied, and their talent unimpeachable. I am at a place where I would take them against any team in the world at -250 or better, so that has to include G2.
The Picks: DWG ML (-245) 3u, DWG -1.5 Games (-110) 2u, DWG 3-0 (+300) 1u

Why Your Best Employees May Be Plotting An Exit In 2013
BMO Harris Contributor Brand Contributor
BMO Harris Bank BRANDVOICE
Storytelling and expertise from marketers
CEO Network
By Brian O'Connell
Don't look now, but some of your most valuable employees might have one foot out the door. Why? It might have something to do with job stability and not the size of the paycheck.
First in their favor, employees can expect a more robust jobs market in 2013, and that means more opportunities to leave the nest.
According to CareerBuilder, a Chicago-based employment services provider, 26% of U.S. companies plan to beef up full-time staffing, up from 23% from 2012.
In addition, CareerBuilder also points to more competition for top-notch employees and higher compensation in new job offers. But past that, don't look for any huge flood of new hires, either.
"More than 60% of employers reported that they are in a better financial position than last year and more than 40% said their sales increased over the last six months," explains Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder. "While this bodes well for job creation, employers are still assessing the implications of a weakened global market and a modest recovery at home. The guarded approach to hiring that has been evident over the last few years was sustained in part by concerns over the fiscal cliff during the time of the survey. We don't expect 2013 to bring any big surprises in regard to employment, rather it will continue on a path of stability and gradual growth barring any significant economic disruptions."
One trend C-level executives should look for is "poaching" by competitors.
CareerBuilder says that "employers may come knocking, solicited or not." The firm says that about 20% of employees have been targeted by other companies – even if that staffer did not apply for a job at that company. Sales and information technology employees are particular recruitment favorites.
Firms are committed to sweetening the pot, too. CareerBuilder says 47% of companies will offer higher starting salaries for new hires. That's way up from 32% in 2012.
If you want to keep key personnel at your firm, you're going to have to show a little love and tell employees how much you value them. That means emphasizing your long-term commitment to them – the sooner the better.
According to ExecutiveBoard.com, a study of 50,000 employees in 2012 shows the top reason employees leave for greener pastures isn't about money, it's about job stability. That trumps salary and health benefits, says Executive Board CEO Brian Kropp.
"It used to be that people wanted to work somewhere with a crazy big idea and where they could bring their dog," he says. "Now it's about going to a place that has its act together and can offer both long-term potential and stability. That's far and away what people are looking for the most."
The firm also lists the "top five" items employees want from their employers: stability, compensation, respect, health benefits and work-life balance.
One way CEOs may be able to keep top employees is through what the ExecutiveBoard calls the "work-life" balance. Specifically, that means showing some flexibility.
"When people talk about work life balance they're not saying they don't want to work as much," Kropp adds. "They're simply saying they want flexibility in the time that they do work. The word flexibility needs to be recognized as not about how much to work but when that work is getting done."
For C-level executives looking to keep top talent on board, the key is to demonstrate a commitment to those employees and offer "flexible" work arrangements like telecommuting and unbalanced work hours.
Do those things - and yes, toss a few shekels at your top performers, as well – and you'll gain the respect and commitment from key staffers necessary for them to stick around for a while.
But be forewarned. If you don't do it – someone else will.

Q: React Hooks - How can I pass props from child to parent component I want to pass the form data from a child component to a parent component, so I can use them inside the parent component. But don't know how to do so.
Child component
import React, { useState } from 'react';

const InputForm = () => {
  const [name, setName] = useState('');
  const [email, setEmail] = useState('');

  const handleSubmit = (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
  };

  return (
    <>
      <Form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
        <Form.Group>
          <Form.Control
            type='text'
            value={name}
            onChange={(e) => setName(e.target.value)}
          />
        </Form.Group>

        <Form.Group>
          <Form.Control
            type='email'
            value={email}
            onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)}
          />

        <Button type='submit'>
          Submit
        </Button>
      </Form>
    </>
  );
};

export default InputForm;

Parent component
import React from 'react';
import InputForm from './InputForm';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className='App'>
        <InputForm />
        Name is {name}
        Email is {email}
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

A: You got two options.You can either implement redux or something similar to decouple the state, or you can pass down a callback to you child to pass the form data back to your parent component

De puntillas describe una postura y un modo de locomoción en el que la persona se desplaza con los talones levantados y la punta del pie en el suelo

Biomecánica
Para mantenerse sobre la punta de los pies, el tobillo tiene que pivotar con el fin de elevar el talón por encima del suelo. Eso hace intervenir varios músculos, como el músculo tríceps sural. La reducción del apoyo al suelo entraña un aumento de la presión e implica un reajuste del equilibrio por la recolocación y la estabilización del centro de masa del cuerpo.

Objetivos

Hay varias razones para ponerse de puntillas.

Una de ellas es de aumentar ligeramente el tamaño y acceder más fácilmente a un objeto colocado en un lugar alto,  o bien tratar de ver algo cuando se está en medio de una multitud.

También se puede andar de puntillas para reducir la superficie de apoyo de los pies y así colocarlos con más precisión, por ejemplo para evitar ciertos objetos del suelo. Otra razón para hacer esto es tratar de disminuir el ruido hecho con los pies, no obstante en este caso el ruido provocado por el aumento de la presión en el suelo puede hacer inútil la disminución del ruido de nuestra pisada. En la cultura popular, los ladrones y espías aparecen esteoritípicamente representados andando de puntillas.

En algunos deportes ponerse de puntillas ayuda a hacer ciertas maniobras.

Overview of RFC related regulations
In 2010, the EU Regulation 913/2010 concerning a European rail network for competitive freight was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council and entered into force on 9 November 2010. It was elaborated with the overall purpose to increase rail freight's attractiveness and efficiency with special focus on international traffic, so that rail can increase its competitiveness and market share on the European transport market.
It defined the establishment of 9 initial Rail Freight Corridors (RFC), some of them building further on the corresponding ERTMS Corridors. The first six corridors, amongst them also RFC Rhine-Alpine, became operational on the 10th of November 2013. The remaining 3 became operational on the 10th of November 2015. In 2017 and 2018 Rail Freight Corridors 10 and 11 were establised by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/177 and (EU) 2018/500, respectively. All Rail Freight Corridors together build a European-wide network for competitive freight, making the cooperation among the Rail Freight Corridors essential.
The creation of a Single European Transport Area should ease the movements of citizens and freight, reduce costs and enhance the sustainability of European transport. The role of rail in the establishment of this single European transport area is highlighted in the Transport White Paper, published by the European Commission in 2011. It contains 10 goals for a competitive and resource-efficient transport system and targets a modal shift to sustainable transport modes to achieve a reduction of 60% of the GHG emissions by 2050.
In its White Paper the European Commission also sets the goal that "30 % of road freight over 300km should shift to other modes such as rail or waterborne transport by 2030, and more than 50% by 2050, facilitated by efficient and green freight corridors. To meet this goal will also require appropriate infrastructure to be developed".
In 2013, the European Commission adopted the following 2 Regulations:
- Regulation (EU) 1315/2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network
- Regulation (EU) 1316/2013 establishing the Connecting Europe Facility
Within this legal framework, the concept of the Core Network Corridors (CNC) was created. These CNC are multimodal corridors, the rail backbone of which are the above mentioned Rail Freight Corridors (RFC). In order to have maximum consistency and synergy between CNC and RFC, the initial RFCs were amended by Regulation 1316/2013.
Regulation 1315/2013 distinguishes between a core and a comprehensive TEN-T network both for passengers and freight. By 2030, the core network should meet a number of TEN-T requirements. These criteria should be met by 2050 for the comprehensive network. For rail, these criteria include a.o. electrification, ERTMS equipment, 22.5 t axle load, 100km/h and the possibility to run 740m Trains.
Connecting Europe Facility
The Connecting Europe Facility governs EU funding in the transport sector for the period 2014 – 2020 and supports the development of a network of strategic European infrastructure.
The EEIG Corridor Rhine-Alpine EWIV is thankful for the support from the European Commission, without the help of which, the set-up, development and progress of the corridor organisation would not have been possible.
The corridor benefited from the previous TEN-T support programme in the period from 2007 to 2013 and the co-funding was mainly used for the development of the ERTMS Corridor A and the subsequent establishment as Rail Freight Corridor Rhine – Alpine. Since 2015, the corridor is co-financed through CEF for a period of 4 years for the action "Support and coordination of Rail Freight Corridor Rhine – Alpine for its long-term sustainable operation as required by the EU Regulation 913/2010, 1315/2013 and 1316/2013".
Apart from the corridor, also individual Infrastructure Managers and Railway Undertakings can benefit from the European funds made available in order to develop an efficient and interoperable railway system.

Theanine is an amino acid and is found naturally in large quantities in tea - particularly green tea.
What are the effects of theanine?
Theanine is known for its relaxing effects and is thought to take the 'buzz' out of caffeine thereby offsetting its effects. Tea has proportionately more caffeine in it than coffee yet we get a caffeine buzz and a kick from coffee and not tea. This is thought to be down to the calming effect of theanine. A cup of tea is one of the first things we turn to in moments of stress or shock and it is only recently that this 'magic' has been attributed to the presence of theanine.
There is science behind the effects of theanine - it is an important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and has been referred to as the brain's 'natural sedative'.
Theanine also increases levels of dopamine, a brain chemical with mood enhancing effects.
What has it been used to help treat?
A Japanese study monitored the effects of women taking theanine for two months in doses of 100 mg twice a day. The results found that it helped to control the symptoms of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) by reducing the mental, social, and physical symptoms of PMS.
Theanine has been shown to clinically lower blood pressure.
Because of its calming effects it has been linked to the treatment of stress and hyperactive disorders e.g. attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), insomnia, panic and anxiety attacks and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

Save the folk psych records for me!

(i know, i've got the online store, but selling used stuff sight unseen by the buyer is kinda weird to me.) i'll probably put up a list of leftover stuff here or on the site and see if anybody's interested before i put it in the dumpster or ebay. if anyone just collects mags with articles on certain bands or genres, or whatever, email me. like the cramps, or japanese rock or noise, or powerpop or 70s punk. a lot of the zines are cool, one-person things that are great but i just have too much around and have to cut it all back to the essentials.

Secret tunnel on India-Pak border reveals PM Imran Khan's real plans
Published January 13, 2021 | By admin
SOURCE: HT
Indian security forces on Wednesday discovered another tunnel built by Pakistani security officials to push terrorists into Jammu and Kashmir, people familiar with the matter said. This is the second tunnel found by Indian security forces since November last.
The Border Security Force has told the national security establishment that the underground tunnel, like the last one found in November, was a professionally-engineered effort to infiltrate terrorists trained in terror camps commissioned by the Pakistan army.
The entry to the tunnel was spotted about 300 feet from the zero line; about 65 feet from the fence on the Indian side, a senior Border Security Force officer said. The 3-feet wide tunnel appears to have been constructed at a depth of 25 to 30 feet.
But this time, the BSF did not stumble upon the tunnel. "Given the sophistication of the last tunnel that had been found, we had figured that the Pakistan army had started building cross-border terrorists to create a new infiltration route and had constituted special teams to look for them," the BSF officer said.
Counter-terror officials in New Delhi said the tunnel also explained instances of ceasefire violations by Pakistani Rangers in this region.
It has been an old tactic of Pakistani security forces to open fire at border guards on the Indian side to distract them. Usually, it was to help terrorists infiltrate into India. "Now, it is also being used to draw the attention of security forces from spots where they are building tunnels," a counter-terror official said.
And there has been a sharp increase in ceasefire violations by Pakistani forces all along the border in Jammu and Kashmir in 2020.
According to statistics compiled by the Jammu and Kashmir police, there were 930 instances of ceasefire violations in 2020, a 54% increase over the 605 instances the previous year. There was also a 22% increase in recruitment of terrorists by Pakistan's deep state.
"But the security forces were on their toes," a top Jammu and Kashmir police officer said. Only 52 of the 174 terrorists recruited in 2020 are still active. "Nearly 50 of them were arrested or surrendered. Another 76 were killed in security operations," the officer said.
A national security planner in Delhi said the Pakistan army's approach to infiltrate terrorists via tunnels reflected how desperately they wanted to keep Kashmir on the boil. "The general understanding earlier was that the Pakistani side would largely pause infiltration attempts during the winter. The tunnels indicate that General (Qamar Ahmad) Bajwa does not want the terror tap to be turned off…. That he does not want a dip in terrorist attacks in Kashmir," he said.
But the desperation to keep the Kashmir Valley in the news, he said, could also be linked to Imran Khan's troubles from the opposition that has united to target the PM Khan and even the army. This would explain why PM Khan and Gen Bajwa have been trying to focus on Kashmir back home.
The Pakistan Democratic Movement, an alliance of opposition parties formed in September to mobilise nationwide protests against Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government is already gaining public support.
"If the economic situation is not properly controlled, Pakistan will face political instability with growing risks of government collapse," an internal assessment by the United Nations' department of safety and security said.

Officials: 9-year-old's body found days after falling off boat, hit by propeller
A 9-year-old boy's body was found Tuesday after he fell off a boat and was hit by a propeller.(Polk County Sheriff's Office)
By Andrew McMunn
LAKE ANNIE, Fla. (Gray News) – Officials in Florida say the body of a missing 9-year-old boy was found Tuesday after he reportedly fell off a pontoon boat and was hit by a propeller.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office reports it started searching for the boy at Lake Annie after he fell from a boat on Nov. 26.
Authorities said the boy was with his two brothers on their father's pontoon when he fell over the front side of the boat and was struck by the boat's propeller.
According to the sheriff's office, the child's father jumped into the water to search for his son while one of the other boys called 911.
Deputies and first responders arrived at Lake Annie that afternoon and immediately put boats and rescue crews in the water to look for the boy.
The sheriff's office said it continued its search into Tuesday before finding the boy's body and notifying the family.
"It's a tragedy, an unimaginable nightmare for the family," Sheriff Grady Judd shared in a news release.
The boy was reportedly not wearing a flotation device when he fell into the water but was not required to wear one.

THE MINISTER – I'd like to highlight three essential points from this Council meeting.

We therefore concluded that the European Union had to continue on its chosen path, i.e. strengthening sanctions even further. We've also got to make contact with the Syrian opposition and step up our dialogue with Turkey and the Arab countries in the region to try and make headway on the situation.
The second point we discussed was the situation in the Middle East.
We all congratulated Catherine Ashton on the good job she did in New York. As regards the Quartet statement, I pointed out that it hasn't, for the time being, led to the negotiations being resumed. We have to go on exploring in the General Assembly the possibility of a resolution, which would of course be balanced, acknowledging observer state status for the Palestinian Authority, but with the Palestinians pledging to recognize the State of Israel – which, incidentally, they've already done –, guarantee security, resume the negotiations and give up the idea of going to the International Criminal Court while these are ongoing.
This is a balanced package. We've mandated Mrs Ashton to continue working on this, even though some states have significant reservations about this possibility. We're seeing two tendencies emerge within the 27. A great deal of energy will be needed to maintain unity between the various European Union member states.
We also talked about Iran; we're ready to resume talks, as long as Iran genuinely agrees to cooperate. We also expressed our concern about the human rights situation. We've seen that an Iranian actress has just been sentenced to several years in prison and 80 lashes; this is obviously intolerable. The human rights situation in Iran is also an issue of concern to the European Union, and one for it to act on.
Q. – On Syria, are you now making contact with the opposition?
THE MINISTER – We've already had contacts, which are building up. So we have to talk to them to try and make progress and maintain dialogue.
Q. – Do you see a connection between these contacts being established and the modus operandi with the NTC in Libya?
THE MINISTER – Not exactly; the Syrian National Council doesn't yet have the same structure the National Transitional Council had; so we aren't at the recognition stage. However, I think we have to get to know its representatives better, get a better idea of their intentions for the Syria of tomorrow and talk to them.
Q. – Did you manage to convince the Germans that Serbia should receive candidate status?
THE MINISTER – We're still talking about it, we're discussing it. We didn't talk about it this morning.
Q. – A word on Cairo?
THE MINISTER – We expressed our strong concern about the explosion of violence in Cairo and repeated that protecting minorities was a red line for us – respecting religious minorities: Christians of course, but also every religious minority in the states of the region./.
